Lord Robathan (Con)

My Lords, I was reading this weekend about the Prime Minister’s comments about various things that are coming forward, and it seemed to me that this was something that needed to be addressed. The regulations address the Procurement Act 2023. It is a Commons question. What are we to think? Are the drafts okay? Are the pieces that are subject to the regulations to be cancelled? The amounts put forward are extremely good—but are they? Noble Lords will understand that people have concerns about the changes that have been made. How much can be seen? How much is numerable and how much is qualifiable and noticeable? Then we look at the occupational pension schemes regulations. What about the lenient one? Leaping on to Regulations 42D, 42E and 42F—what is all that about? The amendment on branded health services—what is that? What about the amendment of the Competition Act 1998 order 2022? What about the healthcare services regulations to exclude a provider that is a threat to national security? Why is this necessary? Then there is debarment in Regulation 20D. It seems okay, but is it? What about Part 6 and Regulation 33(1)? Finally, we have repeals and revocation. Can the Minister tell us what all this is about? It seems good—it seems not too bad. We would like to be certain that this is not a problem. Could the Minister please tell the House how this is to be proceeded with? To be fair, I think that there is a possibility of revocation. Will the Minister please tell us what this is before we let it through?
